A colleague notes I have been extraordinarily productive lately, producing all manner of guidance needed by our team and the organisation as a whole.
“What’s your secret,” they beg, “a new beverage?”
It’s meant in jest, but they’re not far off. This productivity is indeed linked to nourishment of sorts: in this case, my quarterly injection.
“You’ve just caught me at the peak of my bell curve,” I respond. “Make the most of it while it lasts.”
For in weeks to come, I will be sliding back into that heavy fog characterised by lethargy and procrastination, nearly impossible to escape.
But, for now, yes, it’s like I’ve been turbocharged, addressing every need as it arises. In these moments, I could almost see myself as a leader.
Sadly, no one wants cyclical leader only on top form half the time.
